it was down for a bit for me too. Had something to do with user accounts because I could connect to live but I couldn't sign in with my gamertag. Mine is back up now though.

Funny how PSN goes down for maintenance for hours on end every other month and no one complains, but the minute XBL goes down for 1 hour the whole year everyone is taking the piss. You have no idea how many PSN fanboys around the world rejoiced at this just because they are still hurting over PSN being hacked and down for like a month.

I think anyone who was hurt by this soon forgot after we got our free games. I don't think many people give a $#@! anymore.

Also, this thread was point made against "always on", not a HAHA @ xbl users.

nicely timed to show why always on for single player is such a bad idea.

Totally agreed, I just hope that with all the negativity this always-on "feature" is getting, MS will not implement it after all. It's just a software thing - granted at system level (according to the rumors) but still just a few lines of code - so they can undo the always-on (assuming they implemented it in the first place) feature without any delays to their launch/unveiling.

I'm assuming you weren't here when that went down. I was reevaluating my life by day 10.

It's a fairly simple premise to get regardless if you think Always online is a good thing or not.

lol Why'd they attack this time?

REGARDLESS - it's these sort of weird occurrences that you can't account for if you require online play for Single-player games. It's par for the course if you're expecting to play a Multi-player title or a component of a game.

All the best servers in the world + all the bandwidth and speed in the world can't defend against a successful attack (and things like outages etc).

Whatever you do MS, Leave the single player/offline play alone, and you'll be fine.
